LOGINArthur's POV
Ainsley pecks my cheeks and walks out of the class, throwing her waist left and right like it’s going to separate from her body. Immediately Ainsley was gone, the bell went off and Mrs Smith walked in. My phone dings, it’s a message from Ainsley telling me she’s in class already. I have delivered all the signs of I don’t care to her, I guess she just plays dumb or she’s actually dumb. Everyone says Ainsley is obsessed with me. It’s the truth, not everyone can resist a hot, handsome, and strong alpha. “Alright, everyone settle down, I know you want to catch up with your friends about the amazing things that happened to you, but the stories can wait. Kingsley, sit down now before I make you.” Mrs Smith is a new teacher and she was appointed to be our home room teacher seeing that she’s the only one who can put the toughest students in their place. Mrs Smith is fond of applauding me for my hard work and good grades. Many of my classmates say she does that to be on my good side. Her speech was getting on the students nerves, so Kingsley, a slow-minded brick wall spoke out. “I don’t need to study hard Mrs Smith, I have the girls and money to keep me satisfied. Unlike Arthur, I can’t keep working hard when I’m good already.” “Yeah, Kingsley you can and that’s one week detention for you.” “For fuck’s sake.” “That’s two weeks, curse again and see how long your detention will be.” Kingsley was good at fighting and hockey games, but he was the dumbest kid in class, he didn’t bother to improve himself because every girl wanted to date him. That’s all that’s in his head. “Oh, sorry, please come in.” Mrs Smith called in a beautiful and gorgeous red-haired girl to the class, she’s tall like a model and has the stunning look of an Angel. “Ohhh she’s cute.” My wolf complimented this girl, he never does that, not even once, not even Ainsley, so what makes her different? “Everyone, this is Justin Reyes, she just transferred here. I expect everyone to be welcoming and nice to her. Kingsley, stay away from her.” “Oh come on Mrs Smith, you know I can’t keep my hands away from a fine creature.” Kingsley got one month of detention since he won’t stop talking about Justin and how he wants to fuck her and make her feel good. You wouldn’t blame him, she’s so beautiful and heavenly endowed. I don’t know what this feeling is, but I don’t like it. I don’t like how Justin is making me feel. I’m not the type to give out compliments, but this girl, she’s gorgeous. “There, go sit close to Arthur, he will help you catch up with us.” I gave Mrs Smith the look “I don’t want that”, and she understood immediately. “Or you can meet during the lunch break, whatever works for you guys.” That’s better, I can’t have her seat close to me when I’m feeling like this. Even my wolf is unsettled and he keeps muttering words that I can't understand in my head. “Can you be quiet?” I try to keep my unsettled wolf down, he’s jumping and wagging his tail from just seeing Justin, what will happen if we actually talk or sit close, that won’t be good. Justin sits in the second row of the class, that’s much better, we don’t want her getting a sign of what's happening to me. She has beautiful, attractive, and enchanting green eyes. It’s unique. Justin is unique. She sits quietly throughout the first period. I have been looking at her from time to time. My wolf is making me do that. I find it exasperating. But I still can’t place why my wolf is stirred up from just seeing her. Even Ainsley, who is unofficially promised to me for marriage, has never made my wolf stir up. What’s going on? What’s this strange feeling of joy and happiness coming from just seeing her? This is weird, really weird. “Justin was the top student in her school, so I would say Arthur has a competitor now.” No I don't. No one is up to my standard. And having a human like Justin as competition makes it embarrassingly easy.Chapter 97 Arthur’s POVI should have known that if anyone would spread the news about my father, it wouldn’t be the patrol team. It would have to be Mrs Mateo. Because when it comes to her hearing and talking about what doesn't concern her, she’s number one in that. She walks up to us, where we are standing. “There you are,” she says. “Not now.” Ainsley tries to push her away from us, but I hold her arm to stop her. “What do you want? Mrs Mateo.” I ask her. She coughs, clearing her throat. “I think the pack deserves better than secrets.”I put my hands in my pockets and looked at her properly. “You had no right.”Mrs. Mateo lifts her chin. “I had every right. My daughter has been living among you people. If there is a stranger with unknown ties walking these grounds, the rest of us should not be left blind.”Ainsley steps forward. “Mother, stop.”“No, I won’t stop. First the violence, then the funerals, then this? A man appears, disappears, and the Alpha’s son expects silence?
Chapter 96Arthur’s POV I made the decision before dawn.I can’t even sleep, I just stood at the window of the upper corridor for hours, replaying every ordinary expression on my father’s face. Every human gesture, every moment that proves how completely the man has been cut away from what he was meant to be. By the time the sky begins to pale, I have already chosen to send him back, away from my pack and everyone I love. Kylian and Oliver were waiting in the war room when I entered. “You’ve decided something,” Kylian says.I rolled my eyes at him and closed the door behind me. “He’s leaving.”“I knew it.” Kylian snaps at me, then looks out the window. Oliver’s eyes narrowed. “Your father?”“Yes. He’s leaving the pack today. To the life he remembers. The human one.”Kylian furrows his brow at me. “No.”I snap my head at Kylian, piercing him with my furious gaze without flinching. “This is not a discussion.”“Like hell it isn’t,” Kylian says, stepping away from the window. “You
Chapter 95 Arthur’s POVI know I erased his memory, all of it. But why is he so…“This is creepy, man,” Oliver says. “Tell me something I don’t know,” I answered, sarcastically. I don’t see him as my father or someone I’ve known before, he’s a stranger to me now. “You must be the one in charge, right?” He points at me, asking me. “I’ve done nothing wrong, I was just hiking. I was just passing by when your people, I suppose, lunged at me and accused me of intruding.”This is disturbing. First, he’s behaving so innocently and weirdly. Secondly, he’s hiking? Really. “He’s just putting on an act,” Oliver says through the mindlink. “Are you saying I didn’t erase all of his memories?” I ask him. “Don’t put words in my mouth, Arthur. You are as shocked as I am. Don’t you think maybe you might have left a tiny bit of his memory?” I growl at Oliver. This isn’t the time to make jokes. What am I supposed to do with him? Like this? “Is something wrong? Might I have done something wron
Chapter 94 Arthur’s POV“Don’t let him out of your sight.” I groan, commanding Oliver. “Yes, Alpha.” He answered me. Why does it have to be like this? I had just made peace with my loss and grief. Can’t I be merry for peace of mind for more than a second? For fuck sake. I look at Justin’s grave one last time before turning my heels and head back to the pack. That man, that monster isn't supposed to be in my territory. How does he even remember the way back? I remembered very well that I took away his werewolf and alpha powers, made him forget that he was ever a werewolf and an alpha, and sent him away. “What brings him home now?” I ask myself, without getting an answer. My thoughts go back to when I defeated my father. “You fucking fool.” He shouts as he’s on his knees, shamelessly. “I’ve waited for this day for a long time.” “You must be stupid and out of your mind to think that I’ll let you take what I’ve worked so hard for.” I let my hand land very hard in his face, t
Chapter 93 Arthur’s POVI didn’t know how hard it is to be a leader, till I woke up this morning feeling the emptiness of Tori. It’s been over two months now and the pack is beginning to settle into its uneasy version of peace. I find myself sitting in the pack’s hall, with two patrol warriors waiting for me to decide on their dispute. “I did nothing but my own part of the patrol.” “You were intruding into my space.” They exchange words with each other and I just look at them. This is no longer a wartime matter, where orders can be sharp and final. This is the quieter work of holding people together when there is no common enemy left to unite them.They keep throwing insults and arguing between themselves. “Enough,” I say in a calm yet commanding voice. This dispute isn't serious at all, but the tension in the room makes it feel larger than it is. “You both overstepped,” I say to them, sounding even. “You will run the next three north rotations together. If I hear of anothe
Chapter 92Arthur’s POVEverything feels so different and confusing. Tori’s absence is having a heavy negative impact on everyone, even the pack. I find myself getting lost in my thoughts every two seconds. For months now, my sleep has been interrupted by urgent reports, patrols to assign, and other issues here and there. Of course, there’s Oliver to have things put in place, I still have to be there to ensure that everything is going very well. Everything in the pack is moving slower than usual. The corridors no longer carry the same sharp tension as before, the training grounds sound different without the edge of preparation in every drill. It should be a relief, but it gives me a restless and uncomfortable sensation. Sitting at the head of the long table, alone in the war room, with a cup of full coffee sitting in my hands, doesn’t seem to help ease my racing heart. “You’re up early,” Kylian says, as he enters the war room without knocking. “Didn’t sleep much.” I glance a
